Can you begin to imagine being born and living your entire life in a concentration camp? Having children and knowing that they will know nothing but life as a prisoner. Now imagine that just outside your cages a bunch of your jailers are having a party. What would your reaction be?
No, those attendees are not IDF operatives but they are settlers that are part of the Palestinians people’s subjugation. Look, I understand that there are people born in Israel who did not choose to be there and I have some sympathy for specifically those people, though they should not be at a festival next to a concentration camp regardless. However, unlike the Palestinians THEY COULD LEAVE. In fact, in response to the attacks on Saturday many of them did just that. Guess what the Palestinians can’t do, even if they wanted to leave their home.
And the Palistinians have no choice in the way they resist the occupation?
They tried peaceful protests years ago, Israeli forces shot them, specifically targeting medical personnel. The UN investigated it and determined that basically every fatality at the protests were unjustified, and condemned Israel for it. Then the international community proceeded to do absolutely nothing else.
Not only do your jailers constantly party it up and rub it in your face, but they continuously steal land and homes from you and the other prisoners and continually violate your sacred sites and treat you as if you’re not even human. Imagine that for your whole life. Slavery is similar in its total disregard for human life, but in this case they don’t even want to use your labor so they have no incentive whatsoever to protect your life.

Would you prefer they try that a few more times?
